New arrival!

I have 4 (possibly 5) big bag orders in!

But I couldn't start sewing because I didn't have enough interfacing so I did my least favourite process, cutting fabric :(

I just kept cutting and cutting and cutting...

And then, I was looking at the scraps that are too small to make bags but too big to throw out...

At 1:30 am, I had a great idea and I just wanted to start right away!



Ta-da!

I'm thinking about making it as a reward, like "buy over $150 and get this free!"

Or I might not be able to give it away because it's sooo cute <3

Happy fabric shopping

I'm slowly starting to learn that I should think about coordination of fabrics when I buy them.

When I started sewing I kept buying fabrics that I thought were cute. But they are all good for being exterior and I have no coordination fabric!

To fix that problem, I ordered a few more fabrics.

 I ordered

Soul Blossoms -Joy- Passion Delhi Blooms
by Amy Butler

 to coordinate with

Soul Blossoms - Passion Peacock Feathers
by Amy Butler

(I bought this a looong time ago).




I also ordered

McKenzie Bloom Lilac

and

McKenzie Stripe Lilac

so they will be good together. The purple stripe should go well with...

Aviary 2 Bloom Lilac

( I finally have a match!)




I should've stopped looking at cute fabrics but I couldn't resist myself.  I HAD TO order

Daisy Chain - Sweet Jasmine - Navy
by Amy Butler

and

Daisy Chain Happy Stripe River
by Amy Butler

At least they are coordinated :)


They are all from Southern Fabric. They have many many fabrics and they are reasonable prices. Because the company is in the US. the shipping to Canada is a little expensive but still worth it!

Dream purse

I want to make a purse like this.

I bought the pink Jacquard fabric and did quilting but... I don't know what to do after that :(

February!

It's been almost a month since I posted my latest blog "2013!"

I don't know why but I'm very very busy mentally...

It's probably because of my students' ballet exam in April. Teaching the set exercises or worrying about their technique are not the worst part.

Grouping them, choreographing their exam dance for each level (the dance should make my students look good), deadlines for the application forms, scheduling the exam day, etc. are worse!

On top of that, I have income tax, competitions, choreographing the recital dance pieces for non-competitive classes and more to think about.

But sewing is still going on :)

New arrivals!
